Camas prairie may well be proud OF
her crop prospects. From all sections

UNAMERICAN.-The U. S. attorney
general has instituted suit in the terri
torial supreme court at Salt Lake city,
against the Mormon church for confis-
cation of So 600, 900 in property, and for
the appointment of receiver to wind
up the affairs of the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day saints. The pro-
ceedings are instituted in conformity
with the Edmunds law, which escheats
all it's property to the government in
excess of $4,000. What an uproar
would be caused if proceedings were
begun to confiscate the property of
ether religious denominations!

WHEAT MARKETS. The price of wheat
is declining all over the world and
there is not much hope of another rise
at present. Lewiston and Walla Walla
buyers are holding off in the expecta-
ton of further decline. Quoted prices
are 80 cents free on board. This nets
the farmer AZ cents. AS wheat goes
down the price of sacks 60 up, and so
the poor farmer is ground between the
uppeI aud neither millstones and catches
it in the neck all around. On our
resent trip below We saw very little No.
! wheat, the hot spell in the spring
having caught it in the dough and shriv-
elsd it more or less. We apprehend
that some of the farmers who contracted
their crop at go cents and sacks fur
nished when the boom was on will have
trouble in finding enough No. l to fill
their contracts. 1t Is said by well
posted men that the buyers will be glad
to declare all contracts off since the drop
in prices, in which event nobody will be
hurt. The market is badly tangled up
and the outlook is not encouraging for
an advance in prices. In our opinion
Camas prairie wheat will be worth more
for home use than it would bring If
thrown on the markets below.

RHUADs CTrY.-About fifty prospect
ors have gone over the Lolo trail to the
Bill Rhoads camp, ten miles north of
the sixty-second mile tree. The camp
is about ninety miles from the Lolo
ferry. A Lewiston party are running a
tunnel for the ledge, and another party
from Pataha are going to winter in
there. The formation is largely quartz
ite and very rich galena has been found
but no ledge has been traced up to date.
The quartz old Bill showed us in Lewis
ton last fall was iron ore. and will be
valuable as fux if good galena is dis
covered there, otherwise it is worthless.
Those who think of going there this fall
had better await developments.

The WEIsER ROAD. There is talk of
petitioniug congress for an appropria-
ton to build a military wagon road from
Camas prairie to the Weiser country.
The only obstacle in the way of a
natural wagon road is the Salmon river
canyon. The road can be built for $50,
600, and would have been built years
ago, only the annexation cranks in
Lewiston misrepresented and opposed
the matter.

RoADs.-The road over Craig's noun
tain is being put in good condition for
fall trade. The editor of this paper in
terviewed the commissioners of Nez
Perce county three weeks since and
succeeded in getting them to appro-
pirate $325 in cash and all the lumber
required to build bridges. Three men
are now working on the Nez Perce side,
and they have put in some solid cordu-
roy work where needed, and also
bridges at the bad crossings. Nez Perce
will also assume one-half the cost of the
bridge which will be built across Willow
creek this fall, Idaho county paying
for the other half The commissioners
down there take no stock in the pro-
posed new road, as it is claimed that it
can never be made of much account.
The reports we have heard are verv
conflicting, but the railroad from Lewis
ton to Camas prairie will eventually
come that.way. Mark the prediction.

dance Friday night which is reported as

Postmaster Beck has received all the

In view of the existing stringency of
the money market here it may be
necessary to state that Uncle Sam is not
doing credit business and that posi-
lively no application for money orders
will be received unless accompanied by
the cash.
Mr.. Greer, of Lolo ferry, arrived here
niece and remained few days. One OF
bis buggy horses died as soon as it was
unhitched. He says that Camas prairie
would get a whole lot of trade from the
Wee-ipe prairie and Pierce city If we
would only spend 500 in grading a road
down Lawyers canyon. The road will
probably be built when times improve.
